2. My nephew will be arriving any day now!!!
3. I get to meet him in just ten days, yay!!!!!
4. Had an amazing, relaxing day off at home yesterday, cuddled between the boyfriend and the dog all day long for Sunday football.

(I had one that was 36, which was copy/pasted to my blog, but it seemed…

Wow. It's been over a month since I wandered over to GiST. I guess my life started travelling uphill, with things going extremely well, and looking at the little things just to keep me happy wasn't as necessary.
But this is a committment I made and would truly like to keep, so I plan and hope to continue periodically glancing at the minor details to make my day just a bit better than it already was (::knock on wood::).
1. Just returned from a fabulous vacation with my friends. It may be…

1. Going to Carowinds tomorrow with the boyfriend! A whole day together - with free tickets in hand - shall be way bigger than a "small thing."
2. No work tomorrow!
3. Finally finding a cute pair of jean capris to wear (Old Navy, thank you).
4. Had one amazingly read blog entry, and while readership matters little, it was great to hear from many bloggers I love. Knowing they read something I said feels awesome, and maybe a bit validated as a blogger.
5. $100 se…

1. Wearing a fabulous new flannel shirt today. Love it! (Even though I feel a little like Lauren Conrad in it, ha.)
2. Found my IPod car receiver that I lost a few days ago.
3. Fabulous night with the boyfriend yesterday!
4. Taking the step-dad out to dinner later for Father's Day!
5. Was only $3 short of my two-day restaurant tip-goal. Close enough for me!

1. Despite literally working the entire weekend - I'm talking both jobs today and doubles at the restaurant both Saturday and Sunday - I'm expecting to have a good amount of money in my pocket by Monday, which will seriously help the vacation-saving.
2. Fabulous mall trip and dinner with my best southern friend last night.
3. Found a $15 reward card for Express in my purse, so I was able to buy a VERY cute flannel shirt and a sexy striped shirt for the bestie.
4. A li…

1. For half of my day, I'll be working from home. This will be a first for me, but I'm pretty damn excited about it.
2. I still, somehow, am writing GiST. Perhaps not regularly, yet occasionally, nonetheless.
3. My gym excursions are giving me extra energy throughout the day.
4. Taking Back Sunday tomorrow!! Woohoo!!
5. The rain isn't bringing me down today. I'm in a damn good mood, and I won't let a few droplets of water destroy that.

1. Joined the gym yesterday! One step down. Now I just have to go.......
2. My morning assignment at work was canceled, but I was still at work early enough to attend. That means leaving nice and early today. Yay!
3. A brief reprieve in the rain! Might head out and grab lunch now before the downpours continue.
4. My dog. Without her, I'm not sure I could comfortably sleep at night after hearing a weird noise. But having her cuddle-up on the pillow next to mine makes m…

1. We may fight, I may get upset, but I still love my boyfriend a lot and want to stick together no matter what.
2. My step-dad now lives in NC! And now just in the state, or in the town, but around the corner. It's kinda nice.
3. I made a successful, delicious dinner on Monday and only had to ask my grandmother a few questions about what I was doing.
4. The allergy medicine has significantly reduced the number of sinus headaches I've been getting for the last few mon…

1. Biopsy came back NEGATIVE!!!
2. Parents on their way to town today. Step-dad permanently moving here!
3. I've been taking some great pictures for work lately, although much of the credit falls on my new camera, ha.
4. Little boy in town - ran over by a lawn mower just over one month ago - is VASTLY improving. I've been reading updates every day, and his progression is amazing. No doubt. I hate getting attached to stories, but I want to see this four-year-old recove…

Heading to the doctor's office shortly, so it's time to look at the good things, the happy things, and refocus my attention away from the nervousness.
1. I look adorable today. Seriously. I don't just look cute, I feel cute. That's kinda nice.
2. I have my dog. She ran away Friday and it took nearly three hours to find her, but I found her and I'm sooooo glad she's still in my life.
3. There's money in my wallet and quite enough to be set for the week.
4. Spent a laz…

Today was, well, a bit depressing. When the OBGYN calls you two weeks after your annual papsmear, the news is never good. I made an appointment for Monday to have everything checked more closely - bet that'll be a ton of fun! - and with any luck, I'll be fine. Actually, I ought to be, but the words "precancerous" aren't exactly ones anyone ever wants to hear.
...Today, I need GiST.
1. The doctor said I "have no reason to worry." And although I am worrying anyway, I'm truly hoping that s…

Well, it's a very good thing I didn't plan to complete this task daily as I've gone without it for nearly two weeks. At the same time, I believe it's rather good that I'm not regularly trying to remember the small yet great things in my life simply because the bad has taken over. More or less, the worst of it all has diminished and life seems pretty good at the moment.
1. My parents are moving to NC!!! Not a small thing, clearly, but YAY!
2. Celebrating Cinco de Mayo with some Mex…

1. The beautiful spring weather that's just now becoming a daily habit.
2. Waking up early and getting so much done at work like I needed to.
3. The new 20sb chat, which will keep me busy when I get bored!
4. Today's blog swap. I love checking out new blogs and this provides me with that opportunity.
5. Leaving tomorrow on a jet plane!!!!

Oh my, 11 days? I shouldn't go so long without writing up one of these. After all, they've helped a lot as things turned sour, especially career-related, for a bit.
Well, I might've fallen off the wagon, but I'm back on now:
1. A very productive workday. That never happens. I haven't yet turned to PacMan to keep me busy!
2. New hair! Highlights/lowlights/cut, and I'm feeling damn confident about how it looks.
3. I plan to purchase a new digital camera after work! The old o…

1. Just received flowers - stargazer lillies! - as a "thank you" from a local couple. I wrote an article about their new antique store and this was their token of appreciation. How sweet, right??
2. Saw a good friend today who I haven't seen in nearly a month.
3. Free lunch at work!
4. An absolutely gorgeous day outside, and even though I'm stuck indoors now, I'll be out of work to enjoy at least a little bit of it.
5. VERY short work day tomorrow!!

1. A quiet night alone at home tonight.
2. Had a fabulous lunch with friends earlier today. It happens far too rarely, but it makes me feel more at ease living so far away from my closest pals.
3. Spent five days with my parents and enjoyed it immensely. And though I'm sad they're gone back to Pennsylvania, there's a good possibility they might be moving here!!
4. A beautiful couple days following way too much rain.
5. A long but productive day at work finally…
